Ask HN: How should developer performance be measured quantitatively?
In an ideal world every developer’s performance would be fairly measured in a quantifiable way. But are there any quantifiable metrics that actually correlate with actual value?
What metrics do you look at when adjusting salaries, comparing teams and developers?

Like 1:1s. That’s an opportunity to check in well before any periodic adjustment cycle. Because it’s more than numbers.
If a manager needs a bunch of quantitative data at the start of a review cycle because they don’t know how their employees are doing, it’s the manager that needs an adjustment. Down. Or maybe out the door entirely.
What makes sense as a measure is going to vary by business, role, and even individual.
